In a 45-second video being shared on social media, a man is seen handing out 4,000 rupees each, in crisp 2,000-rupee notes, to three people inside a room. He asks them to vote for the hat, the election symbol of the AIADMK Amma, the VK Sasikala faction. There are women in the room, one holding a baby, and a man who seems to have a voters' list.
